| No Lock Boxes |
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — The City Council passed a controversial ordinance that expands the use of lock boxes in Cedar Falls.
As in the first two readings of the ordinance, the ordinance passed by a 6-1 vote, with Nick Taiber casting the lone dissenting vote.
A dozen citizens spoke out against the ordinance, while just one spoke in favor of it.
The issue had caught fire on the Internet in recent days and council members had been subjected to hundreds of calls and e-mails from people around the nation who objected to it.
About 55 people attended the meeting, nearly filling the council chambers.
One person yelled at the council as he left the meeting “Thanks for ignoring the citizens.”
